I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Dripping Springs High School Sports History
    BASEBALL Baseball has been a part of Dripping Springs’ history almost as long as the school system has been in place. After the Dripping Springs Academy was founded during the 1881-82 school term, for sure there would be enough students that school team’s could conceivably have been formed. However, until the UIL officially sponsored baseball in 1948, baseball teams were on their own. This probably meant more community teams than purely school teams. The newspapers were full of Dripping Springs’ baseball games and were usually the main form of entertainment for various celebrations during the baseball season. Since most were played in May, June and July and many on Sundays, the guess is they were made up of community but the players had once been students at Dripping Springs. The earliest mentioned game was 6-13-1884, when the Dripping Springs picked nine beat the Kyle students 11-9. This team, and for the rest of the century, was the main team from Dripping Springs. It was formed and sponsored by A.L. Davis, Jr. He was the pitcher and the person that would build the two-story merchandise store on Mercer Street in 1891 that presently houses Lone Star Gifts. They would play such teams as Cedar Valley, Round Mountain, Kyle, San Marcos and even teams from San Antonio. In an 1889 game with the Kyle Lone Stars, the starting lineup for Dripping Springs was given as Charlie Malott 1B, George Cooke SS, A.L. Davis P, Frank Graham C, Garrett CF, Will Graham 3B, Marshall 2B, Roberts LF, Stone RF.

  • HISTORY NASHVILLE BASEBALL HISTORY the 2019 Season Signifies the 42Nd Season for the Nashville Sounds
    HISTORY NASHVILLE BASEBALL HISTORY The 2019 season signifies the 42nd season for the Nashville Sounds. It’s the 22nd season as a member of the 16- team Pacific Coast League, and the first as the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. Despite the 42nd season as the Nashville Sounds, baseball’s roots in Nashville go back to the 19th Century. In fact, baseball has been played in Middle Tennessee since at least 1860, when the Republican Banner newspaper published a July 25th report on the game’s popularity the previous fall. During the Civil War, Union soldiers temporarily based here helped spread the game in the local community. Home field was a place known as the Sulphur Springs Bottom, a half-mile north of today’s state capitol. When the original Southern League was organized in 1885, Nashville was a charter city and games were played at Nashville’s Athletic Park, as the Sulphur Springs Bottom location came to be known. The city fielded several entries in the league over the next ten years -- the Americans (1885-86), the Blues (1887), the Tigers (1893-94), and the Seraphs (1895) -- but was unable to claim a pennant. When the Southern Association was formed in 1901, Athletic Park – which was later given the name Sulphur Dell by famed sportswriter Grantland Rice -- became the permanent home to the Nashville Volun- teers (or Vols, for short), who played there for the next 61 years. Under the guidance of manager Newt Fisher, the Nashville club won the SA’s first two pennants. The team, which was not known as the Vols until a “name the team” contest conducted prior to the 1908 season, continued to build a solid, loyal fan base.
